Episode Synopsis
Please view the video entitled “Keep My Commandments Summarized” before viewing this teaching: https://youtu.be/k7fUP105dLM?si=hnQbSUUg3t5JUYgVThe Flesh (Sarx), the Fruit of the Spirit, and the True Meaning of WorshipIn this continuation of the series on the Greek word **sarx** ("flesh"), the speaker examines the profound contrast between the "deeds of the flesh" and the "fruit of the Spirit." The message uses scripture from Romans and Galatians to explain that the deeds of the flesh are evident when a person tries to live a Christian life in their own strength, which is a futile effort. The video refutes the idea that our own human spirit can be strengthened, arguing instead that we become "complete" when we are at one with the Spirit of God. The speaker also critiques modern church practices, such as sensationalistic displays of "power" and a reliance on music to "work up" the crowd, asserting that these things glorify man, not God.* The "deeds of the flesh" are evident when we try to live the Christian life in our own power.* The "fruit of the Spirit" is produced by seeking God's face, prayer, and allowing His life to be formed in us.* The law of God is not the problem; the weakness of our flesh is.* The concept of "running in the spirit" or a reliance on emotionalism in worship can be a form of sorcery or self-glory.* A person is not made complete until they are "at one" with the Spirit of God.* The phrase "the spirit that is of you" refers to the Holy Spirit indwelling a person, not a spirit that a person possesses.* The purpose of worship is to give praise to the one who is worthy, not to be entertained or to show off one's gifts.* True worship begins with receiving the Word of God, and the response is back to God in praise.* Those who practice the deeds of the flesh will not inherit the kingship of God, because their flesh is king.The video concludes by asserting that the Christian life is about receiving the power of God's Spirit, which is likened to the act of breathing in oxygen. The speaker challenges listeners to understand that we are not meant to live in our own strength but to be completely dependent on God's power. The ultimate takeaway is that God's desire is for us to have His Spirit indwelling us, which gives us the power to live the life He intended for us. This dependence is the very fire, power, and breath of life that enables us to become children of God.#Sarx #TheFlesh #BiblicalTruth #DrMichaelDavis #Theology #Worship #HolySpirit #FruitOfTheSpiritSarx...
